Key Features of the Polygon Bend Series

• Ample Mounting Points for Gear: With multiple mounts strategically placed on the frame and fork, the Bend Series offers exceptional versatility for carrying gear. The Polygon Bend R Series features up to 16 mounts, while the Bend V9X includes 10 mounting points, making it easier to secure bottles, bags, and other essentials for extended trips. These bikes are designed with universal-size mounts, allowing riders to use any compatible bolted bag to meet their needs.
• Wide Gear Range and Robust Drivetrain: The Bend Series includes a variety of drivetrain options, from Shimano Sora on the Bend R2 to SRAM GX AXS on the top-tier Bend V9X. These drivetrains offer a wide range of gears to tackle climbs, sprints, and everything in between, making the Bend Series suitable for both seasoned cyclists and those new to gravel riding.
• Advanced Suspension and Comfort Features: Some models, like the Bend V9X, come equipped with high-end components such as the FOX AX 32 suspension fork, providing additional comfort and control on rougher terrain. The carbon fork across the series helps absorb vibrations, making long rides more comfortable and reducing rider fatigue.
• Electronic Components for Seamless Performance: The Bend Series incorporates advanced electronic systems, including wireless shifting and dropper mechanisms, which can last for up to 60 hours of riding. These components offer precision and reliability, enhancing the overall riding experience and allowing cyclists to focus on their journey.
• Aerodynamic and Stable Handlebars: The flared handlebars found on Bend Series bikes are designed to improve aerodynamics while maintaining stable control. This design helps riders adopt a narrower position for speed while offering wider drops for better handling on technical sections.
